The development team of MyVGA is happy to release version 1.1.0 of the program. A lot
of work went into this release and we believe it?s a solid foundation for all future
work on the program.
New Features in version 1.1:
? File-swapping. When changing video-mode, MyVGA can replace particular files with
a version specially designed for the selected video-mode. So you can use large icons
in Pocket Informant for example when in VGA mode, and automatically use smaller icons
when you switch to QVGA.
? Reverse landscape mode putting the buttons on the left when in landscape. This
mode is still in testing but is probably 95% complete. There is a slight flicker on
some devices in this mode but it is still very useful, especially for using IR keyboards
in landscape, so we left this mode in the release.
? Timing settings. The user has the ability to manually change the screen timing
settings to fine-tune reverse landscape mode. This is for experienced users only and
you change the settings at your own risk.
Features in version 1.1:
? Switch Toshiba e800/e805 Pocket PC to any of the following resolutions: o 240x320 - Portrait, standard resolution and upside down o 320x240 - Landscape, left- or right-handed o 480x640 - Portrait, normal or upside o 640x480 - Landscape, left- or right-handed;
? Change Fonts used for menus, and set the sizes of scrollbars. Settings are
stored independently for each video mode;
? Store/restore the registry-settings when changing video mode. This allows the
user to readjust other programs to selected resolution (application must have the
ability to change its settings). You only have to specify which registry entries must be
stored. You do not specify real values, only their names. Once the registry key names
are entered that setting can be adjusted directly in your application. You can change
settings (e.g. FontSize in Reader-program) any time without the need to adjust the
settings of MyVGA. MyVGA tracks changing of registry entries and stores/restores current
settings automatically and for each video mode individually.
? File-swapping. When changing video-mode, MyVGA can replace particular files with
a version specially designed for the selected video-mode. So you can use large icons
in Pocket Informant when in VGA mode, and automatically use smaller icons when you
switch to QVGA.
? Small and fast. MyVGA is written using C++, it does not require Visual-Basic- or
any other runtimes to be installed on the Pocket PC. Its size is about 100Kb and it
starts quickly.
? Command line support. MyVGA detects several command line parameters and can
switch video mode without using the GUI window. This is useful if you want to switch
modes from your favorite launcher.
? Does not require setup. The program consists of only one exe-file, which can be
placed in any folder.
